The Quiet Elude
A dark new day is dawning
It's early in the morning
There's nothing I would rather do
Walking pace to paces
Like clockwork it's arrangment
I think it could be time to do
The Quiet Elude
Happiness in shelter
Wishing life was better
Dream your life and cares away
Show up at the station
And find some information
I think it could be time to do
The Quiet Elude
Are you on my wavelength?
Singing songs to strangers
Trying to find the perfect muse
Listen to it backwards
Discover all the answers
Now you know who's fooling who
The Quiet Elude
Everything is real now
My cares, my lifes, my dreams and
There's nothing I would rather do
Run home from the station
I've lost my information
I think it could be time to do
The Quiet Elude
